Sloth Party

New Years Resolution- I will try to post more.
New Years Resolution- Broken.
Hello! How much have you been procrastinating? Just take this post as a friendly reminder from your Aunt Necrogirl that someone, somewhere, is lazier than you. Probably.
Plogviezhe! According to a book I read, that means 'The sun has risen! Let's make war!"
I actually have no idea what to post here, so I'll link you to a new place I have found. She updates more than I do, don't worry.

Oh, And That Too

Greetings, fellow beings!
Was I dead? Buried alive? Kidnapped? Sent to HELL? No, I merely forgot to post.
BOOKS YOU MUUUUUUUUUSSSST READ
Hiroshi Ishikaki- Chain Mail.
1984. What? It's bloody awesome.
A RANT, PUBLISHED HERE BECAUSE I NEED TO VENT THIS.
I am in the Creative Writing club at school, and you know what we are doing? MEMOIRS. Memoirs, people! We have not even had any exploits that panicked the nation! We are in middle school! Any memoirs we write will be the I-learned-a-lesson-when-my-dog-died or my-having-a-baby-makes-me-interesting badly written type. I want to write about love! About magic! About fighting! About evil! About dystopian empires! Not about my memories. I'm far too young and untwisted for those to be interesting.

Death! Ruin! Destruction!

COWER, BRIEF MORTALS.
I hate almost everything about the holidays, but they have some good things about them. To wit:
1. Presents.
2. Hogfather, Terry Pratchett. I love this book so much it isn't even funny.
3. Hark To The Bells. That's a favorite song, carol or otherwise.
4. The Nutcracker.
5. A Christmas Carol. Who'd pass up a chance to see another festive Grim Reaper?
6. Holiday break.
7. Christmas lights.
8. Chocolate coins.
9. Decorating trees.
10. Saturday Night Live Christmas special, which we watched last night.
11. FIRE!!!
12. Snow.
13. I've run out of things.
What I don't like:
1. Santa.
2. Latkes. I detest latkes.
3. 99% of all holiday songs.
4. That the aforementioned crappy songs are all they ever play on the radio or in Barnes and Noble.
5. 99% of all holiday movies.
6. That Hanukah is never on the break.
7. Barbie's A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker. I actually screamed "HOW CAN YOU DEFILE THE JOY OF THE HOLIDAYS?!?!" when I saw those.
8. The cold.
9. Socializing with relatives. This is normally okay, but in large groups? I DO NOT LIKE THE GROUPS. I get uncomfortable at my own birthday party.
10. That my otherwise awesome family-friend neighbors always show the horrible Christmas movies.
11. Droning in Hebrew.
12. Advent calenders.
13. Candy canes.
Oh, I shouldn't be so ambivalent about this! After all, I am Eggnog, according to the 'What Hot Beverage Are You?' quiz I took once. So, I should like the holidays.
Right.
I'll stop pretending to be Scrooge rather than the Ghost of Christmas Future and let you get on with your life, shall I?

Mirror/Reflection

Happy holidays to all you readers. I am currently in the OH GOD GET STUFF MUST GET STUFF NOW!!!! phase of Holiday StressTM, and it is DIFFICULT. Never daunted, I go on.

Have you seen the Animal Farm movie? It is the worst thing I have ever seen. It has smashed apples, which scared the &*#( out of me, as that is my hot-button phobia. I cannot deal with fruit grossness! However, it changed SNOWBALL! from being like Granny Weatherwax to being like Magrat. From the Doctor to Rory. From Yuko to Watanuki. From Minako to- OKAY OKAY WE GET IT ALREADY. And they had a sucky-ass ending, and lowered Benjamin and Mollie's participation(BASTARDS!)and GOT RID OF CLOVER AND THE CAT! BASTARDS! Oh, and they also made Benjamin less cynical. THAT'S WHY WE LIKED HIM BASTARDS.
However, OH MY GOD SO FUNNY! The constant rain! The overwrought music! The movies! Oh my god, the movies! Adjectives fail me. They just...fail me.
The puppies were adorable. It is the rare movie that cannot be saved by putting in puppies. It was not saved.

At one point in my theater class, I was informed by the teacher that a class had at one point put on a post-apocalyptic Antigone. A girl in my class was much taken by this fact. Sensei kept trying to change the subject, and SHE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS was like, 'Wait. What about the Antigone?'
._________________________.
THE BEST WALK EVER.
So, my mother and I were walking back to my school from a school tour, and we saw:
1. One of those mannequins with no head on a bicycle, in winter garb, and delivering presents. This was in the window of a liquor store(of course). OH GOD HE KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE.
2. An ad for a band whose graphic was a child with the head of a snarling bear holding a limp teddy bear in one hand.
3. That ad with the giant gnome who kidnaps people. New Yorkers will know what I mean.

Let's end this farce!

Autistic Blueberry

So. Thanksgiving.  Let's all give thanks for the good things, like Kristin Cashore, cats, Mokona, and snowmen. My Thanksgiving was mainly reading the New Yorker while trying not to kill my cousins. Let's give thanks for fratricide! And Hamlet!
SPEAKING OF THE NEW YORKER
I have an obsession with reading their reviews of both TV shows and of Wagnerian opera. I have never watched most of the shows, nor seen Wagner performed, but I love reading their reviews.
.____________________________________.
Why? Why do I keep having weird dreams about Kuro-pippi? This time, there was Po from Graceling(god I love that series), who looked inexplicably like Masayoshi from Tsubasa in that dream. Then, there was Fai, and a river, and more about Po. That is all I can remember, except that there was a barbarian-type guy in black leather who had long hair beating his chest and howling at the sky. Maybe I should stop reading before bed...but then I wouldn't have my weird dreams about colorful demon babies and Sakura-chan dressed like a cowgirl, which would be sad.

I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General

An actual text exchange between me and Melody:
Melody: Well, I'm tired. *yawn*Night!
Me: SLEEP NO MORE! GLAMIS HATH MURDERED SLEEP AND THEREFORE CAWDOR SHALL SLEEP NO MORE. MACBETH SHALL SLEEP NO MORE. Night.

IT'S A WHALE!

Greatest hits of the racist boys in my math class:
French is boring. It's all about croissants.
Guy #1: You are the smartest black person ever!
Guy #2: I don't know if that's racist or a compliment.
.___________________________________.
ANOTHER WHALE!

WHY ONE SHOULD NOT READ TSUBASA AND ANIMAL FARM AT THE SAME TIME (Spoiler alert for both!)
I have meme-ish things going through my head, and the latest one was that picture from Volume 20 of Tsubasa where Fai and Yui are like six or four, and standing in the black panel with fancy outfits and solemn faces.
Then I had the meme 'Four legs good, two legs better!' going through my head.
Then I got them mixed up.
Imagine the cute solemn identical twins in their fancy outfits (Oops, major spoiler there) suddenly creepily smiling and saying in this little-kid voice, as one "Four legs good, two legs be-e-e-eter!"
I'm still trying to get over it.

No,There's A Large Rock*

Have you ever noticed characters who are other versions of another character? For example, Minako from Sailor Moon and Kara from Avalon:Web of Magic. Not to mention Tomoyo** and Hana-chan from Fruits Basket. Ooh, and Hollyleaf and Kasha. I should stop now before I go on forever, but...
CHANGES SUBJECT ABRUPTLY
AWESOMEST LINE IN TSUBASA VOLUME 20
That's what I punch people for!
Okay, maybe that particular awesomeness was awesome in context alone.
But it was awesome.     

*Punchline to a really tasteless joke about Tsubasa.
**As I mention her a lot, go back and read my archives.

No Farting Down In Texas

Me and Momomouse had a sleepover, and if you have never hung out with a friend during a hurricane, you should, because IT ROCKS. However, there was some serious crazy, because when you lock up 3 girls(Chestnut, my little sister, was there as well)  in a house and they can't get out...
WHAT WE DID
1. Had an Uglydoll stealing fight.
2. Went underneath quilts and wrestled.
3. Raced around the house yelling 'Return the princess!'
4. Put an Uglydoll in a tissue box.
5. Et cetera.
A SMALL MYSTERY THAT HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO
So, I was checking out the English class library. And I saw a book by Jodi Picoult. At one point on my mom's blog, I'd heard someone comment about how Picoult-san was a terrible writer. So I checked out the back. Then, this nice girl said to me "There's a really good book by her over there."
What I did: Small Tight Smile. 'Thanks.'
What I thought: WHAT THE HELL WHO ARE YOU WHY DO YOU THINK I READ JODI PICOULT?!?!

To take the force that the ground would exert on the egg upon impact(according to Newton's Third Law)

That title is an actual line from my lab report. If you're writing about eggs, all your sentences will be funny.Now all I need to do is to figure out how to relate all of my posts to eggs.(One down!)
Seen in the subway: Two astonishingly cute little girls in cute school uniforms(more of my opinions  on that probably in my next post) playing with stuffed animals...and making machine gun noises. On the same subway ride, I saw an average guy in a suit talking to his equally average, suited, and male friend. I was trying to do homework, but I heard this phrase clearly:
"And then s/he(I can't remember which) picked up a stick and was like 'WHACK'!(making appropriate gesture)"
I don't know what they were talking about, but that was bloody awesome.
In other news: is Daughters of Eve sexist?
I mean, if it had been written by a man, that wouldn't even be a question for most people: Villainizing radical feminists(and feminists in general)+Anti-abortion, pro-saying a clump of cells that hasn't even truly formed yet is worthy of ruining most of your life prospects(like it did for Anne in the book) +Having in the ending 'Three years later...' bit, everyone be a housewife=Sexist. But, since it was written by a woman, we don't think of it like that. But is there something I'm missing? Please tell.

It Is Always Easy To Go Wrong With A Stopwatch

Hi! I'm now viewed as schizophrenic by everyone  who was at Barnes and Nobles yesterday!
Really.
I know you want to know more, so! I will explain.
As everybody who reads this blog and has for a while knows, I am a fanatic CLAMP reader. I am particularly fond of Cardcaptor Sakura, and read it through omnibi. I saw the fourth omnibus at the store, and began to read.
Well.
I saw Sakura-chan crying. Now, I will not repeat the entire rant here, but I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU TAKING YOUR LIFE FRUSTRATIONS OUT ON ANY VERSION OF SAKURA-CHAN AGEHA OHKAWA. I wandered throughout the store, ranting and raving, and clutching a Magical Girl omnibus. At one point I pointed at a Warriors book and yelled "Shut the hell up!" There was a girl nearby, and I embarrassedly said "Sorry. Not you, ma'am." I finally decided on two Sakura-chan free books. I'm sorry, Sakura!

Truly, My Name Is Slim Shady

Look at this! It. Is. Awesome.
Just so ya know...
Mom got a shipment of books for me and Chestnut to read/her to review for her blog. I will review all of them I feel are worth it.
Also awesome: The Moonrise Kingdom soundtrack. It's on Rhapsody, and YOU MUST LISTEN to part 7. It is so beautiful.
Also awesome: Reading Animal Farm for Humanities. Completely awesome so far. Also, my teacher has this wonderful color-coding for genre thing that is a lifesaver for a genre nut like me.
Also awesome: Book based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is cool, but she will not change the burning hatred I feel for Seishiro from Tsubasa.
Hey, did I just mention Animal Farm and Tsubasa in the same post? I WIN.

Tick Tock

Math class never ceases to amaze me. I have heard another weird thing:
Two guys at my table are talking about about a video game.
Guy #1: Hmm...some kind of treasure...like King Arthur's sword*?
Guy #2: No way, man, that's totally gay.
... .
*Excalibur. Referred to in The Secrets Of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel as the sword of ice, which may be a reference to the element of water. A fixture in many legends. Referred to by Momomouse as Gangscalibur. Don't ask.

The Skull And The Octopus

JUST BECAUSE...
Books I Love
1.On The Day I Died,Candice Fleming(Read. This. Book.)
2. Midnighters, Scott Westerfield(Amazingly sci-fi-y while still being fantasy enough for me)
3.Beauty Queens, Libba Bray.(So damn funny)
4.The Soldiers Of Halla, D.J. MacHale(He brought my favorite character back to life, and she gets a huge role in this book.
I need to stop this list now, to explain about Kasha. She was a cat...a alien panther with ninja skills. Who can resist the alien panthers with ninja skills? If you aren't obsessed with black cats, ninjas, and sci-fi like me, perhaps you. She was my absolute favorite character in Pendragon. Then, she died in a rockfall. Skip forward a few months. I have finished the Warriors series 3(I hate that series, for reasons detailed here.). Hollyleaf, another awesome black cat with ninja skills, has died. In a rockfall. Skip forward another few months. I am feeling very depressed, due to something I cannot remember. Then, I realize: There is a literary conspiracy against awesome black cats. I was outraged, snapped out of my depression, and began making posters.
I'm sorry if I made you question my sanity.

Help! Chipmunk!

I am feeling rather rageful. I read the interview with the governor of Arizona in the New York Times Magazine, and here are my reactions.
Question 1:Obama...is thin-skinned...Right. So possible for a president! Because they are critiqued 1000 times a day!
Question 2: Way to avoid answering the question, Ms. Brewer!
Question 3: Yes! Statistics are all lies! Because the truth is a lie! A place an hours drive at a mile a minute from the border of your state is part of your state! SOOOOOOO TRUE!
Question 4: How is this answer relevant? At all?
Question 5: In my search for the interview, I heard that this man said being compared to the Ku Klux Klan was a honor. AND THIS WOMAN SUPPORTS HIM!
Question 6: Yes, laws aren't the governor's responsibility. Way to shift the blame.
Question 7: Because God knows that it's a great idea to give everyone guns and not rescind the privilege when they start shooting people.
Question 8: Right! Drunk people+guns=everybody's safe!
Question 9: No matter how small the percentage is, drunks with concealed weapons are dangerous. That's all there is to say.
Questions 10 and 11: No comment.
Question 12: HOLY SHIT. So, you are going to change a law so your OWN @$%@ING SON GOES TO @$*%^@@%&%ING  JAIL?
Questions 13 and 14: I have officially lost all faith in the human race.

Cute Anime Octopi

                        I am writing a short story for camp, and the guy right next to me just used the phrase 'by the force of the lion'. I didn't see much else, but BY THE FORCE OF THE LION! That is so my new curse word.
                        My camp has several recreational activities, and I have discovered that cross-stich embroidery is populated  by female Harry Potter nerds only.  Half of the embroiderers were stitching the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, the other 2 were stitching flowers. Me? I was stitching Chi from Chobits.
                       Other great lines from the guy sitting next to me's story:
         The lion stands up and realizes him.(What the hell IS this?!
          It swings its claws, which destroyed his leg.(You've got your tenses confused there...)
         He then sticks out his sword.(Such dirty connotations, hehehehehe)
        He then beats his head with his shield for quite a long time.(Is he okay? )
         Stinging as hell, he stood up and tried running (What? What?)
          In order from the top, this makes a surrealist fight scene.
       UPDATE: Most of these have been fixed, but...'He stopped the bleeding by ripping off a part of his torso' is the latest awesome mistake.However, it's a cool story now I have read it. He's also only 10, so I can't judge him as if he were older.

Roulette for Infinity

Two things that you didn't know about me:
I know a few Old Norse runes and can draw them on you, including Thuris, Thor's rune.
I am making a Tsubasa-themed mix tape and will, if you ask, give you the list of songs. All I will divulge for now is that it features a lot of Doctor Who themed songs, and the song for Kuronkichi's country is Mockingbird, by Eminem.
I just read Beauty Queens, and I found it excellent. Truly superior. Epic. IT RULED.
I read Tsubasa volume 19 as phase one of Top Secret Project F, and found it epic, but it's gotten very depressing recently. However, it still ruled magnificently.
I'll be going to sleepaway camp soon, so I might not post for a while.
Until then...

And A Bow And Arrow To Complete It

After not posting in a while, our hero returns...
I have a complaint... two, in fact.My three complaints are:
This is a stall that opened up directly near our local supermarket that sells low fat/calorie/sugar gelato. LOW FAT GELATO! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME SUPERMARKET? DID I KILL YOUR FAMILY OR SOMETHING?
I was allowed money for an excursion to the bookstore to buy  my summer reading assignment, but not the latest Artemis Fowl book.
I have lost reading time to feed my neighbors cats, and they have not delivered payment. I WILL TURN INTO THE TIME SPACE WITCH AND KILL YOU FOR NOT PAYING ME A FAIR PRICE NEIGHBORS! KILL YOU!

He Regularly Delivers Fisticuffs

WOOHOO! My sister and mother have gone off, so me and my father are staying at home. As we are very similar, we will probably not get much done. Meanwhile, I am proud to deliver you... the Necrogirl Scale Of Battle Strength.
Could Win Against Kuro-ron:
Could Win Against Sakura Kinomoto:
Could Win Against Sailor Moon:
Could Win Against Lana from Gone:
Could Win Against Emily Strange:
Not many make it to the top. Where do YOUR  favorite literary characters rate?

The Space-Time Witch Is A Completely Different Thing

There comes a time in every bloggers' life when:
A. They get an amount of viewers that is of a most delightful number. 666 VIEWERS, SO BRING ON THE FOUR HORSEMEN, Y'ALL.
B. They hear a Care Bear book being read aloud and fall over themselves with gleeful mirth. It's so horrible, it's hilarious. Whenever I see my young cousin holding that book, I run into that room so as to overhear(At the moment, I'm in Vermont with my dad's family).
C. They find a book at a community book sale and are struck by its awe-inspiring(if you can call it that, but there is no other word to describe HOW MASSIVE this was) sexism. It was entitled The Alphabet Of Manliness, and it was horrific. There was a ridiculous number of Animorphs books, but nothing decent.

It's Norse Mythology Week! I Just Made That Up!

I suppose you are all wondering where the hel I have been. I have been reading Runemarks(Oh my, that book is so good I may buy a copy), making a school-fantasy manga(you just have to sometimes), and making up a new holiday! It is Norse Mythology week now, and will be until next Wednesday, so go out and say 'hel' as many gratuitous times as you want! Watch Thor! Read The Children of Odin and Runemarks! What the hel! It's Norse mythology week!
